The rights of citizens
Summary

Constitution is the most important document in all countries. This document can be written (like in most countries) and unwritten, just like in Britain. Constitution might be changed in referendum.

Constitutional laws have a prevention to government from becomeing too powerful. The state functions are separated into executive, legislative and judicial separate institutions.

Constitution defines the most important fundamental rights of citizens. Democratic state citizens have more freedom: of speech, press, movement, assembly and demonstration and rights to: education, healthcare, shelter, participation, political life, equality, right to vote and other rights.

It is hard to establish advantages and disadvantages of written and unwritten Constitutions. There are case-law rulings and traditions in Britain unwritten Constitution, but some people believe that government is too powerful.

Some things are virtually forbidden or freely permitted in different Constitutions. The most important aim of Constitution is to protect and legitimize fundamental human rights.
